Avenge the Ostriches!

Rebel News is Creating a Documentary About Canada's Senseless Ostrich Massacre

The government slaughtered hundreds of healthy ostriches on a small family farm in Edgewood, B.C., and if we don’t document what really happened, they’ll keep calling this massacre a “cull” and move on. Our answer is a Rebel News documentary that uses months of on-the-ground reporting and exclusive footage to expose the CFIA, the RCMP, and the system that destroyed Universal Ostrich Farm. Please click here to learn more and to help us tell the story of Canada's senseless ostrich massacre.


A pointless and heartbreaking massacre carried out in the dead of night

Hundreds of perfectly healthy birds have been slaughtered, all because of the stubborn and vengeful federal government.

When Rebel News first visited the farm, it was a waiting game as the farm’s lawyer had asked the Supreme Court of Canada to intervene to save the birds.

The Supreme Court announced it wouldn’t hear the farm’s appeal — and Carney’s bureaucrats at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency began what can only be described as a massacre.

In the dead of night, they killed the ostriches with nearly 1,000 gunshots.

Ezra Levant arrived on the scene following the massacre, to investigate:

  • Who killed the ostriches? Was it police? Was it military? Was it Mark Carney’s health bureaucracy?
  • Government guidelines say animals have to be sedated before being killed. Did that happen?
  • Was there a veterinarian on the scene, as required by the courts?
  • Why didn’t the police intervene to stop the health bureaucrats from breaking the animal cruelty sections of the Criminal Code?

This was an international incident. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. himself had offered to take custody of the birds, telling the Canadian government they had significant medical research value. Yet Carney’s gunmen massacred hundreds of perfectly healthy birds — and neither the RCMP nor the federal bureaucracy will answer a single question.

Katie Pasitney, the farm owner, has never had a single conversation with Carney’s bureaucrats — they refuse to engage with her, as does the RCMP.

What a disgrace.

Rebel News has been covering this story since the beginning. Over the past few months, no fewer than six Rebel News staff have done tours of duty at the farm. Please chip in a donation to support our independent journalism.

Help Rebel News continue its reporting on the Ostrich massacre!

For months, our team has been on the ground at Universal Ostrich Farms, documenting every step of this tragedy — from the first ominous signs of federal overreach to the night nearly a thousand shots rang out, leaving a field of hundreds of dead ostriches and a family shattered.

Our journalists confronted the RCMP, pressed CFIA officials, launched drones to reveal the truth, and refused to be intimidated or silenced.

But holding powerful institutions to account takes resources: travel, security, legal access, and the manpower of an around-the-clock reporting team.

If you believe in independent journalism that asks the tough questions the establishment won’t touch, please chip in to help us keep digging.

    Our pets will be next and then they will come for us. Canada needs to get out of the WHO for our own good. It can be done, Trump did it. Government overreach is just that no matter what they try and serve it up as its nothing but bad news for Canadians

    Trudeau and Singh with the rest of their Vultures would always use the phrase the pays " FOLLOW THE SCIENCE".
    Was it a Ruse? Sure it was.
    The politicians live to do things because they want to.

    Perhaps it’s time for people to declare that the members of our Liberal government are infected with the woke mind virus and cull them instead.

    STOP THE CULL !!! It amazes me that a “FEW” people think they are GOD and they know what is best for everyone. I wonder if they would do the same if the decision actually affected them.

    There is no real reason to cull these ostriches if they’re not sick. If you suspect sickness why not just isolate them for a while and see what happens? I resent your over-reach into the lives and businesses of farmers, who are the backbone of society. If we don’t have food, we die!

    Why is our federal “government” giving $590 in taxpayer dollars to the private company known as Moderna, who may (or may not) develop a “vaccine” (efficacy unknown), which it will then sell back to the government for even more taxpayer dollars? Isn’t that the ultimate in double-dipping? And given that the only characteristic of “vaccine” I personally observed during the COVID fiasco was that it was admninistered via needle—-it certainly did not appear to prevent disease, as with true vaccines like smallpox and tetanus—-why is the government choosing Moderna, whose COVID vaccine did not prevent disease? Just wondering at the logic. And I am not a vaccine denier; I had 3 or 4 COVID shots myself.

    Why is the gov’t so intent on this cull? Is it possible that the Kyoto research would show results differing from those at Moderna, to whom our federal gov’t has just given $590 million in taxpayer dollars. This “cull” appears to be quite possibly politically motivated, many would think. As well, it goes against the gov’t’s position that “herd immunity” does not exist; witness the COVID fiasco. More than a few possible political motives to this cull.

    Question: Is it true that if this ostrich farmer tests her own birds, she will be arrested? And charged with what crime, may I ask?

    Question: I accept that there were 2 diseased birds in the flock some time ago. Is it not possible for the gov’t to re-test the remaining birds before they are all very likely needlessly slaughtered? If not, why not?

    Stop the insanity’s of NWO
    and elites who try and control all things. Playing God while taking their souls innocent animals.
    Moses brought all the animals after the flood to multiply!
    Not destroy animals.

    Corrupt government, and more fraudulent PCR tests. This is utter madness. No destroying of animals or humans that are not sick. Period. They cannot just come in and declare destruction of a citizen’s asset. Sue the government for proof that their testing is valid (PCR is not clinically applicable, and any testing cannot be valid because they have not isolated avian flu anywhere in the world), and proof of illness.
